Chore for management getting new star players (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orchestra

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'players' is the definition.
(group playing music)

'chore for management getting new star' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'chore' is 'orche' which is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'star' is 'stra' which is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
